Application filed April 9, 1900, Serial No. 12,172. kllo model.)

To @ZZ 'whom it rn/ty concern:

Be it known that I, ABNER E. FOLTZ, a citf zen of the United States,residing at Akron, in the county of Summit and State of Ohio, haveinvented a certain new and useful Improvement in Boxes and Covers, ofwhich the following is a specification.

My invention has relation to improvements in boxes and cases in whichthe cover par tially or wholly telescopes on the box, and it isparticularly designed for small boxes, of pasteboard, for holding smallarticles for druggists, grocers, or Stationers use, but may be appliedto larger boxes for other purposes. Heretofore it has been customary tohave the covers and boxes detached, and as a consequence covers becomemisplaced or lost, entailing annoyance to the user and injury to thecontents from exposure to air and dust.

One object of my invention is to so combine the box and cover as topermit the ready inspection of and access to the contents, secure thecover against loss or misplacement, and hold it ready to be closed assoon as desired.

A Jfurther object is to make the cover adjustable to adapt it to inclosea surplus of material exceeding the capacity of the box.

To the aforesaid objects my invention consisis in the peculiar and novelconstruction, arrangement, and combination of parts hereinafterdescribed and then specifically pointed out in the claim, referencebeing had to the accompanying drawing, forming a part of this' As animproved article of manufacture, a

box provided along near one of its ends with a series of perforations, acover adapted to partially telescope said box provided near one of itsends which normally inclose the sides of said box, withoppositely-disposed perforations, and pins or equivalent means to formhinges to connect said cover and box and form a pivot therebetween,substantially as shown and described.

In testimony that I claim the above I hereunto set my hand in thepresence of two subscribing witnesses.

ABNER E. FOL'IZ.

In presence ofm C. P. HUMPHREY, C. E. HUMPHREY.
